My post work walk
Kind of jealous to see all the good birds seen lately while I went leaf peeping upstate for 6 days , my only free time nowadays is after work to get some of those birds.
So this afternoon sounded like a good plan
First a stop at the sparrow bowl which is a very short distance from my office. And it's a straight route for home. As expected it's a sparrow haven in there! Despite tall grasses, some birds perches in the mugwort and surrounding flora.Those I found were Field ,abundant Song, white throated and a junco. But I didnt waste too much time in angst for the nethermead birds.
Enroute I ran into Eleanor Ray who mentioned that the Vesper Sparrow was hanging around the big Walnut tree. But getting there I saw birder Maddie who gestured to the donor white oak inside the fence enclosure closest to the path. Edging closer and with Maddie's help saying where it was, I was able to see the Clay colored sparrow perched close to the trunk. A great bird for me not having seen one in years ( of course they're rare here though)
Rusty tweeted the bittern during this time,so after a futile look for the vesper, I took off for the bittern for a better opportunity..
By now ,I'm stationed at the peninsula pink beach and after a scan,I see a brownish bulge within the phragmites left side. It never stood up,but I'll take the sighting for a good 2nd great bird. I can't get greedy. Tomorrow will be a new day and new opportunities.

Did not see it at first so walked the peninsula, came back and found it on far left side of the phrags. Incredibly camouflage, super long yellow beak and eye. dark cap and dope camo streaking on the neck.it did all the classic poses: smushed up in a small ball borb; extending neck up as far as possible to look like a reed, and then eventually a low, ducking creep walk that got too exciting so he took a short flight hop.

Hi Peter,
It was a beautiful Fall day in the park, with a good number of birds. Our "bird of the day" was going to be the Bobolink, first spotted by Rafael in the newly rejuvenated Sparrow Bowl. But that was outshined by an American Bittern across from the pink beach.
We ended up with 67 species including 15 species of warblers, Phila Vireo along with 2 other vireo species, and lots more.
Here's the list.
And everyone, please send a note to the Prospect Park Alliance telling them how important their restored habitat in the Sparrow Bowl is for our migrants.
Best regards,
Tom
